The Project

This blog is about a project by Simon & Sue to cycle around the coast of Britain. We're hoping that this trip will take us to places we might not ordinarily go. It will certainly provide a great variety of scenery and terrain.

We would love to take six months off work and do it as a single trip, but that's just not possible, so we will do it in sections instead.

There are no rules - if the road nearest the coast is a busy A road, we'll come inland a bit; if we fancy including an island or two, we will; we might start again where we left off, but then again we might not.

Sections of the ride will vary in length from a single day to up to a week, or possibly more if we can swing it. We'll probably camp for most of it. We'll have guest riders on some sections, not on others.

It is likely to take a long time to complete. Perhaps even a very long time. Several years is our expectation.

The main purpose of writing a blog will be to record the journey for ourselves, to have something to look back on. But of course we're hoping that at least some of our friends will be interested enough to stop by every now and again and see how we're getting on.
